An Ansari companion narrates that once Hazrat Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Shall I not teach you the ablution (wudu) of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" The people said, "Certainly, do teach us." He asked for water, rinsed his mouth three times, cleaned his nose three times, washed his face three times, and washed his arms three times. Then he wiped his head, then washed his feet, and said, "The ears are part of the head." Then he said, "I have shown you the way the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution."
